"Hey Motorman" was written for the 100 year celebration of the Ariel Lift Bridge.
The bridge was originally built in 1907 with a gondola that went from side to side carrying passengers and vehicles. It was later replaced with a lift system.
Bringing back Surf music!!!!!New song written by me and Andy Rashley from Southampton England.
Andy Rashley: Vocals and acoustic guitar
Ron Rouch: Bass and all other guitars
Just a simple Blues, I'm not a harp player, but I did the best I could, puffed me out !!! Oh yeh don't tell my mate Dave. He plays the harp on all my songs & he'll have guts for garters if he finds out !!!
This is a song about questions, especially after experiencing the loss of someone special.....here are the lyrics:
Down past the bridge
By Saint Peter‘s church
She hums a prayer
Her eyes blue and bare
She’s longing for comfort…
This song is inspired by the struggles currently going on in Syria....here are the lyrics:
Out in the streets, an awakening has begun
You brandish posters, they point a gun
Scrawled on the pavement with blood and tears
Says we the people…
Sitting around in my shop a couple of days ago with the Goodall and the Zoom H4N. First time I've really messed with using the internal mics on the H4N in multitrack mode
My first attempt at a Blumlein or Mid/Side recording. This one is actually a mid/side recording as I used a directional mic in combo with a figure 8 ribbon mic set at 90 degrees from the main mic. Thanks to Pat Broaders for the loan of the ribbon…
My kids told me to buck up, all my songs to date were dreary, kids eh! This is the acoustic version of this song. When you're bored with this, I'll upload the upbeat one
I listened to the versions back to back.
The electric version has some pretty neat aspects to it, like the drum track, and the distorted guitar.
I'm still leaning toward the acoustic version. I like the acoustic guitar, and the overall feel of it.
Of course, I'm getting to be an old fart. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Great Song Roger! I could tell it was about your Grand daughter before I read the footnotes. I have a 4 year old neighbor. She's pretty special too.
Nice groove on this one Ron! You can really get some good tone out of your guitars!
Really gets the blood pumping! I caught myself singing lyrics to it. It's a natural fit.
The autoharp is a great idea. Very creative!
Lot of feeling there!
Nice reflective song.
"I'm done with all my Wild Days" ??? I don't believe you! I thought the harmonica sounded great.
Very touching
Very Light and Pretty! This one hit the spot.
Good song!
Good old time favorite
Nice groove. Good texture changes, all the way through. Interesting twist at the end.
Let's hope it doesn't come to this. I really enjoyed the sound effects.
Beautiful
This just carries me away.
This was a treat for the ears this morning!
One of my favorite songs! I like your picking style, as always. The banjo is a nice touch too.
Oooooh . . . That hit the sweet spot.
